front wheel 2 Years, 7 Months ago

hello,
I'm not sure if this is the right section but i will give it a shot.

I am looking at buying a new front rim (can't stand cleaning the spokes).
So my question is what is the biggest front rim i can go with and what size tire should i run?

I have all stock front end and don't want to cut fender or anything like that.

I have seen that a 21inch will fit but does anyone have a 21 that can give advise from having this done?

Is this going to drastically change the feel of the ride or will it be alright after awile?

thanks in advance,
chris

Re:front wheel 2 Years, 7 Months ago
I have no personal experience but I have seen a few 21" wheels on the front end and some were done using the stock fender. It will look a bit odd with the stock fender as a 21" tire has a narrow profile so the fender looks too wide. I believe the 21" will also raise the front end a bit. Hopefully someone with more experience will drop in. Doc

Re:front wheel 2 Years, 7 Months ago

if your going to put a 21" on the front I would sugest going with an after market front fender May be a fiberglass one that hasn't been drilled. you can find them at swap meets or online I got a fiberglass front fender for mine and it cost me $10. You would have to modify the stock one to use it with a 21" and it would look funny. you might also lower the front forks to even the ride height if is a concern
